6This mentions the most important changes (visible to the administrator)
7in IPv6 initscripts.
8
9RHL9 -> CURRENT
10---------------
11
12 - no major functional changes, only bugfixes and cleanups
13
14RHL80 -> RHL9
15-------------
16
17 - 6to4 device MTU is calculated explicitly, IPV6TO4_MTU support added
18 - add route6-<device> static route support
19 - secondary IPv6 addresses are configurable on tunnel interfaces too
20
21RHL73 -> RHL80
22--------------
23
24 - no major functional changes
25
26RHL72 -> RHL73
27--------------
28
29 - 6to4 device changed from sit0 to tun6to4
30 - 6to4 assumes the anycast (closest) 6to4 server is used (192.88.99.1)
31   unless specified with IPV6TO4_RELAY.
32 - 6to4 does not support automatic tunneling *at all* anymore; use
33   IPV6_AUTOTUNNEL if you want to use it.
34 - All support from NBMA tunnels as well as 6to4 using sit0 was removed
35 - IPV6TO4_CONTROL_RADVD and IPV6TO4_RADVD_PIDFILE was changed to
36   IPV6_*, respectively.
37 - IPV6_DEFAULTGW and IPV6_DEFAULTDEV support was introduced;
38   /etc/sysconfig/static-routes-ipv6 must not be used for them anymore.
39
40Rough guide to migration:
41 - Rename IPV6TO4_CONTROL_RADVD to IPV6_CONTROL_RADVD if exists
42 - Rename IPV6TO4_RADVD_PIDFILE to IPV6_RADVD_PIDFILE if exists
43 - Remove "default" route from /etc/sysconfig/static-routes-ipv6 and replace
44   it with something like IPV6_DEFAULTDEV=tun6to4 in /etc/sysconfig/network
45 - If you need autotunneling, use IPV6_AUTOTUNNEL in /etc/sysconfig/network
46
47RHL71 -> RHL72
48--------------
49
50 - 6to4 tunneling support was added using device sit0
51 - Tunneling method was changed from NBMA (now obsolete) to dedicated
52 - Automatic tunneling configured was moved from ifcfg-sit0 to
53   IPV6_AUTOTUNNEL at /etc/sysconfig/network
